Madrid immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. E. Ruiz caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 19 minutes. This gave TiTaNeS_86 the 1 - 0 lead. M. Kiriţă increased the lead for TiTaNeS_86 to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! A. Tolu unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. G. Balugani of TiTaNeS_86 was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of TiTaNeS_86 to 3 - 0 as G. Balugani finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. After 35 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and Ó. Puche gave the TiTaNeS_86 supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. 36 minutes in, Madrid's Ó. Claret received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Halftime score was 4 - 0. TiTaNeS_86 had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the TiTaNeS_86 coach let G. Lillelund replace K. Danaeifard after 55 minutes. The TiTaNeS_86 players could smell victory in the air. H. Dauenhauer wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for S. Vega Guzmán after 65 minutes. TiTaNeS_86 solidified their lead at the 66 minute mark, as V. Ionescu dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 0. By now, the players in TiTaNeS_86 felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Madrid's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. TiTaNeS_86's G. Balugani had an excellent opportunity after 71 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! A. Drumev could've grabbed a goal for Madrid 72 minutes in when he got a pass from the left putting him free of the home side's defence, but he was unable to take advantage of the situation. S. Vega Guzmán should probably have put his team up another goal after 76 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by S. Ojian kept the visitors in the game. TiTaNeS_86's V. Echaide had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 77 minutes having been played. A. Jobard was the replacement. TiTaNeS_86 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 66 percent.

TiTaNeS_86's top performer was clearly J. Pyrek. On the other hand, A. Jobard's play was disheartening. The most dominating Madrid player was without a doubt I. Villabol. N. Lottin was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 0.
